TO THE MANUFACTURERS OF THE TOWN OF BIRMINGHAM, Nimo SIGNED THE MEMORIAL TO HIS MAJESTY6E GOVERNMENT, DATED JULY 13, 1826. Gentlemen,—We think it proper to report to you, that at the instance of some of the principal manufacturers of the town, who signed the memorial, we preceeded to London for the purpose of presenting it to.his Majesty's Government, and of answering any questions relative to the state of the town which Ministers might think proper to ask. Upon our arrival in London we addressed a note to the Earl of Liverpool, requesting the honour of aninter view, for the purpose of presenting the memorial, and his Lord ship appointed Friday last, at one o'clock. We were received with great courtesy by his Lordship; in company with his Mr. Secretary Peel, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the Presi dent of the Board of Trade. These Ministers peruse memo rial with great attention, and made many inquiries respecting the state of the trade inthe town, and the causes of the general die tress, which they appeared to thiuk arose, in a great degree, from over-trading. We ventured to represent the impossibility of this, because, during the last year, to which the charge applied, all oar manufacturers were carried off, by absolute consumption, quite as fast as they could be produced ; whereas now, in the present year, almost all our manufactures are made for stock, not withstanding the workmen are very generally placed upon half work, or less. We further ventured to state, in answer to some questions put to us, that in our humble opinion, and in that of many of the principal inhabitants of Birmingham, the distress proceeded chiefly from the contraction of the circulating medium, and could not be remedied without providing an ample and secure currency, adequate to meet the obligations and immense engagements of the country. The increase of our population, the amount of our poor le vies, the management of the poor, and a variety of matters re lating to our workhouse and parochial regulations, were specific objects of inquiry, with reference to the statements contained in the. memorial, and upon each td them we gave the fullest in formation. After an hour's conversation upon these important subjects, our interview was terminated by an expression of the strongest assurance fron► the.Eati of Liverpool, that the facts contained iu the memorial should hays the most serious consideration of his Majesty's Government. We'could have wished that nothing had been made public respecting our proceedings until the publication of this re port ; but we find that some unjustifiable remarks have found their way into the public papers, one of which it may be proper to notice. In Aria's Birmingham Gazette of yesterday, an article ap pears (which we are persuaded never proceeded from its respect able Eolitor), in which it is asserted, that " a number of the principal inhabitants, deeply interested in the manufacturing and commercial prosperity of the town, declined countenancing the measure; on the express ground that the allegations contained in the memorial were not borne out by fact." As this representation may be construed into a denial of the facts stated, we think it proper to mention, that out of upwards of one hundred of the principal manufacturers of the town to whom the memorial was presented, nut more than eight or ten declined signing it.. Of these, no one individual denied the general correctness of the facts stated. One or two expressed their full concurrenn4 but stated, that owing to some peculiar circumstances, their own trades hod not fallen off to the extent represented . T wo or three others concurred iu the whole statement, but expressed their opi nion, that the Chamber of Commerce ought to have taken up the subject ; and three or four others represented that the subject ought to have been brought forward at a town meeting. The gentlemen with whom we acted, as well as ourselves, were of opinion that the Chamber of Cornmeal: was net the most proper body to take up the subject, because the Chairman, and Deputy Chairman, and many of the most influential meinfiere, are *hers, who are irri tated and injured by the measures of Government, and whose in terests might by sonic be supposed to be too much compromised by those measures to allow their disinterested interference. With re gard to a town's meeting also, it was thought to be advisable to make a private representation to Government in the first instance, which might perhaps obviate the necessity of a public measure of that kind, during a period of so much excitement and distress. Under these impressions, the memorial has been signed by manu facturers only, who can have no other interest than that of the country at large ; who have the responsibility of employing the mechanics and artisans; and who are of course better acquainted with their sufferings and privations than either merchants or bankers can be. We cannot but regret that the sufferings and privations of these meritorious and unfortunate classes of men should have been treated rather lightly in the paper above alluded to, because nothing so soothes and consoles a distressed population, as the lmowlidge that theirdistresses are known and appreciated by their more affluent _ _ We think it proper to mike one other remark. We bare twin Informed from good authority, that some individual in this town has had the meanness to write to a member of the Administration, for the purpoose of misrepresenting the statements made in the , memorial, and of disparaging our huMble exertions, in making known the real situation of the town, in a quarter from whence alone relief can be expected. We have, however, the satisfaction of assuring you, that this unworthy 'conduct has had no effect ; for we had every reason to be satisfied with the reception whiCh we experienced from his Majesty's Ministers, and with the kind and anxious attention which they paid to our repreeeutationi. We insert below a ropy of the memorial, and of the signatures attached, which, with the exception of the gentlemen above al hided to, and of a few others who are absent from Birmingham, are generally those of the most respebtable manufacturers of the town. We are, Gentlemen, your most obedient servants, CHARLES JONES. BE. NJA N HADLEY. THOMAS CLUTTON SALT. Birmingham, Aug. I. We, the undersigned Manufacturers of the Town of Birmingham ; think it our duty to make known to his Majesty's Governroeni the following Statement of Facts:— I. For the last six months we have experienced a great, Conti nual, and progressive falling off in the d eman d f or our roanu f ac.; tures, and ark increasing ditliculty in obtaining payment of 001 debts due from even the most responsible houses. - . - - 2. That in t►rder to meet this state of trade, we have been com pelled to dismiss great numbers of our worktuen, :and hay* gene rally p l aced t h e te maioder of them upon four, three, and even .two days'. work per week. 3. That notwithstanding these distressin g reductions in the employment of our workmen, we find that the diminished demand for our mauttfacturea rsouires - still further sacrifices ; that we are keeping open our manufactories at a great and positive !coo . , and many of us apprehend that it will he necessary for us to close them altogether, unl ess hi s Majesty's Ministers can devise some measures for Our relief. 4. That some of nit, whose name are hereto affixed, have been manufacturers in this uswn from 40 to 60 years, and that during that eventful period we never experienced difficulties of a charac ter %CI universal an d o ve rwhelming as those in which we are now involved: 5. We also think it our duty to represent, that hitherto some sub -14,4,1e, htt, been b u i ne d by the working classes from their past savings, and the sale of clothes and furniture ; but that we con template with great alarm the rapid exhaustion of these means, and the longer continuance of so great a population out of em ployment. Birmingham, July Is, 1826. iHere follow the signature of more than 100 manitfaciurvi-cl MURDER. On Thursday evening a coroner's Inquest was held be fore Thomas Higgs, Esq., at the Triumphant Chariot, Upper Grosvenor-place, on the body of Sarah Bateman, aged 40, who was killed by her husband, Isaac Bateman, in Fulham-fields. The Jury, amounting to 1.5 in number, proceeded to St. George's Hospital to view the body. Both the de ceased's eyes were black, the right in particular : the same side of her neck was completely disfigured; a dread ful wound bad been inflicted on her head behind the ear, and her face and arms bore evident marks of violent bruises. Mary Hughes stated, that the deceased and her husband resided at the Old Greyhound, once a public-house, in Fulharti-fields; they alone occupied the house; she had known them for the last three yeara. The deceased was occasionally addicted to drinking, and her husband also got tipsy. He was a labouring man in the garden ing line, and his wife also went out to work at the same place that he did. On ,Monday night, about twelve o'clock, witness heard a noise in the deceased's house; it was like the breaking of crockery-ware 3 1' upon which she approached the place, and on going to-, wards the door, she saw Isaac Bateman standing there. Witness said to him, " You thief, you have,killed your wife." She thought it was so, in consequence of hearing her groan. He replied, " No, I have not hurt her, she is not hurt yet ; she wants nothing but, gin and gin and wa ter, and water I shall gi re her." Bateman then took can in his hand, and went to the pump; he took no water from it, but threw the can down, and ran away. He was in the habit of throwing water over the deceased when she got tipsy. Witness went inside the house, and about three yards in the place she saw the deceased lying on the tiles of the ground-door; she had all her clothes on ex cept her cap; there was a great quantity of blood,all round about her; blood was also flowing from her head, neck, and temples; the deceased was quite senseless, and every article of crockery-ware was broken in the house. There was no light except what the neighbours brought, in con seqnence of the noise which alarmed the village. The de ceased's husband did not return again during the time that witness remained there, which • was till half-past one o'clock. The man appeared to be tipsy. Several of the neighbours went and washed tire blood off the' deceased, and some said there was life in her. A medical gentle man was called in, who said there was life Stilt remaining. Coroner—Did the man say that some person had taken liberties with her? Witness—Not to my knowledge; but a report had been spread about that she was observed with a man in a stable. This was all report, Juror—Did you see any Weapon ? Witness—Yes. I saw the handle of a rake, which wets found in the cupboard, broken in thre e piec es ; but did not observe any marks of blood on it. Mr. Matthew Giosephi, assistant to Mr. Bowling, of Hammersmith, surgeon, surgeon, stated, that about twelve o'clock on Monday night, he was sent for to attend the deceased. He found her on the floor; site was in a state of insensibility. • He ordered her to be carried up stairs, and assisted in putting her to bed. To some questions witness put to the deceased, she muttered several words, which he did not understood. The deceased did not smell of liquor. On examination, he discovered several contusiotts and cuts.about her face and head. lie ordered her restoratives. Mr. John Bowling, surgeon, on Tuesday morning vi sited the deceased ; she was then sensible, and complained of great pain at the lower part of her body. 'Witness in quired of her how she came in that state, when saute of the neighbours observed, that her htisbenti had said the was seen with some person in the stable, upon whiCh the deceased said it was false, and the neighbours knew that her husband would say any thing w l / 4 -n drunk, At this time she was aware of her danger.. Witness suspected that she was'internally ruptured, and she deseribed it as having been done when her husband was kneeling on her. Witness prescribed for her, hut 'conceiving she would not get proper attendance, advised her being brought into St. George's Hospital. -The rupture, being an internal injury, was the occasion of death. " • Mr. Henry Russell, house surgeon of St. George's Hos pital, stated, that the deceased died about three o'clock on Wednesday afternoon. Witness had examined the body since, and the internal rupture was quite sufficient to canoe death, which must have been done by outward violence. There was no external appearance of a kick. John Chapman. who resides in Fulham-fields, deposed that he was a stage-coachman. Last Tuesday morning, a little after midnight, he was within ' 20 yards of the de ceased's house, going home, when he was alarmed by sudden crash, as of glass or crockery ware. -On seeing a light brought by some one of the neighbours, he instantly went on to the deceased's door, but did not go hi, being -afraid. Witness saw the husband of the deceased walking 'about the room,- who stated that the'b— wanted gin and water, and he would give her water only. The .place was like a -slaughter-house at the time. He appeared sober, lighted his pipe, and went towards the pump, saying he Would give her water, and took a can for -the purpose, but instead of doing so he-turned off, and went away...- Witness went for a doctor while the women washed the deceased, About• half-past three o'clock the same morn ing he saw the deceased's husband rise from a potatOe-bed fronting the house. Witness called to him, saying, "Bate man, I want you ; what have you been about ?" He then carne over the gate, and gave himself up,- saying, to a question put, diet he had made up his mind 01- die for the b— b—. Witness told him he had killed his wife. He kept him in custody, and soon after gave Mtn is charge of.a peacrofficer at Hammersmith.

ST. OLAVE, HART-STREET. An adjourned special general vestry of the inhabitants of the parish of St. Olave, Hart•street, was held on Thurs day last, to consider and adopt measures respecting the report and other documents laid before the vestry on the 6th of jily last. The Rector, the Rev. Dr. Owaw, again took possession of the chair, against the manifest inclination of the parishioners, and be urged them not to delay, for the sooner they begau the wooer they would finish. It was very warm weather, but ',without warm weather it was generally hot enough in that vestry.-- (Laughter. ) Mr. Y01,1,1(.1Ex immediately rose to express his deep regret at seeing the Rector iu the chair. Dr. OWEN—I think this is premature. The minutes of the last vestry had better be read, and then you may gay what you will. Mr. YOUNGER assented. The minutes of the last vestry, including the Report of the Committee, were, then read. Mr. Youisoaa said he had felt excessive pain in observing the bold and indelicate assumption of the Rector in taking the their, particularly as it led to, angry diseusition, and by the frequent i►nproper interruption of Dr. Owe►t, the free discussion of the parishioners WAS impeded., He felt .it his duty in the outset, to submit a motion on that subject ; Oeu, after taking a 4124)3 re view of the Report of the 'Committees, end complimenting them upon the argumentative and temperate tone they had taken throughout the whole of the correspondent* and proceedings oow printed for the use of the Parishioners, Which he trusted would ►meet the eye of the Right Rev: Prelate, the Lord Bishop of Lon don, and every true friend of the Establiihed Church, he con cluded by moving a resolntion to the effret that it was highly im proper end indelicate for Dr. Owen to preside at a vestry con vened to discuss the peffortuance of his clerical duties, and was in direct opposition to the remonstrances of the parishioners, who solely submitted to it because he assumed the chair by authority of law. Dr. Owrx—The kw is the best authority by which I take the chair, and we do not meet here to consider my clerical duties. Mr. You NGER—I think we do, and I now again complain of the.obstruction which you, as chairman, hays always put in the way of our free discussion. You have no right, as chairman, to interfere with the form or substance of my motion.—(llear.)-- Carr Mr. JAck• sox then moved a resolution, declaring that the inha bitants of this parish are patrons of their living, and were protected front any increased claim for tithe by ancient anti long accustomed payment, which existed when they presented the present rector to the living, which then produced ,to him, and had produced to his predecessors, about t5O/. per annum.—(llear.) Dr. OWV4-111 put thia motion, but it is en assertion without proof. Several parishioners---It's true. What part is without proof ? Dr. Owsx—lt does not lie with me to prove it. I call upon • you to prove it. Youwouu—lf you cannot contradict it with proof yourself you have no right to cull for proof from us. Thew are the kiud of interruptions by you, as Chairman,.of which I complain. You are presiding here aga►nst justice and propriety. Dr. OiV*N—What ! Do you mean to say lam to tit 114-e as a mere cipher? No, no. Mr. AINSLXY seconded the motion, vrhich was carritkil mouldy. Mr. JActzsoN then moved a resnlution, declaring, that after the Rector's induction, the parishioners, at his solicitation, consented to pay Is. in the pound for tithes ; but that he, in violation of that agreement, had since enacted 2s. 9d. in the pound, under the Act of the Slth of Henry VIII., which until the last 30 years had been obsolete, and the decree under it had been recently found, by a jury, not to have been enrolled. Dr. Owert—l deny the assertion contained in this resolattious and wish this denial to be made public. I never made any such promise generally. I did promise here -and there an individual, that I would not rase his tithes,, and I have scrupulously performed this •'promise with respect to „every 4.1 inhabitant to whom I made it... But I never roads any .general promise ; raw can lmy.One of you produce any resolution of vestry, or any scrap of paper, or document, to show that I did. Several parishioners here loudly declared, that the doctor had en tered into a general verbal agreement with the parishioners to take no more then one shilling in the pound ; but he now taunted thew with not being able to show any written document to bind them. Was this honourable? A Parishioner--.. When the draught of the last petition to Par liament was read, you stated that it Wei, Dr. Owen, by your in dividual application to the parishioners, that they consented to give you one shilling in the po►nid, in consequence of your being about to be married. You now say, it was only to extend to old inhabitants; but even if it was so, is it creditable to you, under mental reservation, to charge the widow, the partner, or the child of an old inhebitant, Ze. 9d. in the pound, . when you agre►d to take Is. ? The BishOp of London, when reminded of this, said, that you, Dr. • Owen, might in the joy of your heart, when you was presented to the living, have assented to take Is. in the pound, l.►ut that was not binding. Now the Bishop could recon cile this to his conscience, I do not know. Dr. Owen---I felt grateful to the parishioners for having pre sented me with the living, and that was my reason for doing it, but I never did it generally. . ja.cgaox—You admitted to use that you.did. Mr. HOWELL—Dr: Owen, , if you deny that the tithes were only 2501. when you caw to the living ; pray let use ask you, what did you and your predecessors first receive.? Dr. Ckwsti--Upon my honour I cannot say.—(Laughter.) Mr. ROltll4i4ON, the churchwarden, said, that as long as his late partner, Mr. Holland 'lived—namely, to the year 1817—he only paid 51. per annum, being la. in the pound ; but he (Mr. Robin son) now paid the Doctor tO/. a year.—(Hear.) Mr. Ilownt.—My house, No. 58, Mark-lane, paid the doctor et first only 11. I ts. per annum, and it now pays him Vit. ; and 1 beg to second the motion, convinced as 1 sin, that it iw founded in truth. I%dr. Youttaxn, in moving the next reso)ution, stud, that every otep they took showed the embarrassment muted by the Doctor presiding. However, as to abe real justice of the case, he wished the world at large could read the report of the committee. He declared be teas not influenced by any personal motives against Dr. Owen. The Doctor, was mistaken if he thought him his enemy. lie vras hu friend, and the friend of the Established Church, and was only desirous of rooting out abuses.—.. The motion was carried iinsnimonoly. BARKLAsis said, it was extremet Unilleaftallt to 111114 SS the Doctor war in the chair, to s u b m it t next motion, but be felt it was his duty to do so.
